THE TORIES ARE BACK,BE AFRAID

In the 80s when Thatcher was in power  & she tried to rip the heart out of SCOTLAND, I wrote this poem ,I was coming home from work & there was a report on the radio about the shipyards on the Clyde could be closed.                                                  


Closing Us Doon

Their closing the shipyerds doon on the clyde
the order books empty the yerds on the slide
they set up a task force wie Government aid
but history dictates nae jobs would be safed

Just look at the miners tae see what wis done
and how Maggie Thatcher closed everyone
then came Mc Gregor to save British Steel
and shut doon "the craig" as part of the deal

Next was Rosyth to face a jobs blow awaiting
the refit but Rifkind said no,Now its the clyde
their trying tae shut doon they're taking yer
jobs tae some English toon
